The service is good overall with some room for improvement. The dining experience is decent with room for enhancement. However, the hotel shines with its facilities that cater to guests' needs effectively.

The hotel is situated in a quiet neighborhood close to interesting tourist spots, with easy access to the Express Bavaro stop. The rooms were not kept clean, which was disappointing, however, the service was exceptional. The location offers a peaceful setting but lacks visibility to various restaurants and the sea. The dining experience was average with the highlight being locally caught fish. Overall, the hotel provides basic facilities but falls short on cleanliness in the rooms.

I had a mixed experience at this hotel. The location was great being close to main transportation options in Santo Domingo, but the rooms were not as clean as I expected. The dining was satisfactory, although the lack of variety was noticeable. On the bright side, the hotel is situated in a safe neighborhood.
